Is it really any coincidence that Upper Deck has chosen to use the Boston Red Sox celebrating the World Series as the featured painting for the corrected version of the Hillary Clinton Presidential Predictor card? I think not.

Upper Deck claims that the card was a result of their prediction as to who was going to win the Democratic nomination.

“The Presidential Predictor cards are both topical and objective,” said Stockholm. “With the momentum of the race changing almost every day, we wanted to wait as long as we could to represent the more likely scenario.”

Jake Long, the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, will be among more than 30 NFL rookies scheduled to appear at this weekend’s Reebok NFL Players Rookie Premiere presented by EA Sports and hosted by NFL Players Inc.

Along with Long, each of the top five picks will be attendance, including Chris Long (No. 2), Matt Ryan (No. 3), Darren McFadden (No. 4) and Glenn Dorsey (No. 5). Other first-rounders expected to be present include Joe Flacco, Chris Johnson, Felix Jones, Dustin Keller, Rashard Mendenhall and Jonathan Stewart.

Has anyone else had the feeling lately that something within Topps may be different than usual? They may be not doing the greatest lately or something along those lines? How do I figure this? Well I’m about to list a few good reasons.

First off, notice that they have been doing misprints in the last few years, maybe trying to get off more exposure than they already have been getting. You had the Derek Jeter misprint with Mickey Mantle and George W. Bush. Now, this year it’s the Red Sox team card with Rudy Giuliani misprint for this year. Coincidence or More >
